Abstract
A portion of a table is displayed in a window having a viewable area. For at least one row, information from one or more columns outside the viewable area of the window is displayed in a hovering row, which may be displayed below the associated row. Column headers may be displayed with the hovering row. The hovering row is dynamically displayed or not displayed in response to user input, such as moving a cursor over an icon associated with the row. Static display of the hovering row is toggled in response to user input, such as (de)selecting a toggle button icon associated with the row. The hovering row is not displayed if all information in columns outside the viewable window area cannot be displayed.
